Super Smash Bros 4 Characters

[daoman89]

Everyone knows about SSB4 so why not discuss who we want new in it and why?

And there's a rumor about SSB Memories for the 3ds.  How do you feel about 2D characters?

The character I want most is Isaac from goldensun.  Why?  Because he can be a unique character that fights with psynergy!  They could even make him class change on the fly which would change his specials and attributes such as damage and knockback etc. 

I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to see Crono kick some ***. 

And as of recently, I want to see Shulk from xenoblade chronicles in it because he could have some unique abilities as well. 

Also I'd like to see Demise or Ghirahim from LoZSS. 

Discuss!!

You mean like Pokemon Trainer?

I really want to see Megaman.
Usually when people think of the character, they think of the NES/SNES anyways, so it's perfect.
Makes more sense then, say, Solid Snake.
I think they'd have to work him hard to not make a Samus clone, though.

cloud and sepheroth and tefa and cait sepheroth

[daoman89]

similar to pokemon trainer, but it's the same guy.  but isaac would change into say offense, defense and agile classes.  And his final smash could be the ninja class haha.  And Cloud's  not gonna be in it Meiscool

[fruckert]

And Cloud's  not gonna be in it Meiscool

He's joking :V

[Meiscool]

I've never been more serious about anything ever.

Use Megamans powers from the first one.
GutMan, Fireman, Iceman, CutMan, Bomb Man.

There's no way he could be a close from those powers. Maybe have a charge up blaster like Samus, but so does Lucario.

[daoman89]

I know he wasn't serious.  He's a bright dude. 

I forgot to mention megaman.  Add him too lol. 

They can get rid of R.O.B. I dont really care much for him lol.  But after reviewing Brawl's list I didn't see anybody that really HAS to go.  They might as well at like 7 to 15 more characters.  The fans want a slightly larger roster!

[Meiscool]

Odds are the roster will get shorter if not stay relatively the same.

[SaiKar]

I can't see how you can cut the roster without making everyone rage.

[daoman89]

I'm sure 95% of the smash bros fans would rage about that. 

[Prpl_Mage]

Fans will rage. HAL(kirby peeps) won't be doing the game. Smash bros follows a very similar system like the kirby games.
Apparently namco bandai will be working on this one. So it's a great chance it turns out like som abominational fusion between tales of symphonia and soul calibur. Or something.

Doubt they'll keep all characters sicne they burned half the crew in SCV

[Meiscool]

Yeah, that is how several games work. They make 10 at first, then 20, then 50, and at 50 they realize "huh, if we keep making new games, it is gonna take more effort than it is worth to keep this many characters, so we need to cut back now". Thus, they shorten the size or make more clones.

Fighting games that don't reuse movesets/models are a good example. Dynasty warriors is a good example too.

If they were smart, they would make "character skins" rather than new characters. For example, a megaman skin for samus would be really great if they didn't want to make the effort to make a whole new character. Same goes for Roy over Marth, Issac over Ike, etc.

[daoman89]

They should cap the characters at 40.  what was brawl 34 to 36 or somethuing?

This was probably the reason they introduced assist trophies in brawl. Less fanboy rage without having a roster of 80 characters.

I do kind of wonder if they'll turn any characters they omit from the fourth game into assist trophies instead. Hopefully they'll retain the assist trophies even though the franchise is changing hands...I kind of like those things. They're like...pokeballs but with more variety. XD
